Sandwich Experimenting

[lihpster]

Have I lived some kind of sheltered, privileged life?!?

No. Just one unfortunately free of the pleasant treat of bread in a can.

My Mom used to take a good portion of the left over turkey and mix it with the left over stuffing and gravy, put that in the oven with the left over mashed taters on top with some cheese, that was pretty damned good as well. She always saved out the dark meat for cold sandwiches.

Shepards pie….

Yeah, after reading you guy's posting about canned bread I did a Google search and found several links to the B&M Canned Bread.
I've never heard of, much less seen, such a thing before now.
Canned bread sounds like some kind of holdover from the days of WWII K-rations to me.

First hop on I90. Drive east to end. Hit nearest supermarket.

It’s definitely a northeastern regional thing.

It is but it’s nothing like pumpernickel bread. It’s a molasses enriched bread. I forget what the homemade version recipes use for flours. I made it from scratch long long ago. It’s closer to a quick bread texture wise like zucchini bread.

Edit….base flours are corn meal, rye and some white flour. B&M started selling it in 1928 but the bread itself is older than that and it’s form was in a can earlier, steamed like a English pudding. My mom used to make a Plum Pudding for Christmas the same way. In my youth it was a washed out big tomato or fruit juice can covered with foil and placed in a big sauce pot with a water bath. Eventually she inherited her great aunt’s plum pudding tin and used that. Warm plum pudding with a whisky hard sauce was a nice dessert.

My friend’s grandfather was a depression era guy, German immigrant, son of a brew master. When WW2 started he really didn’t want to be killing his cousins so he signed up to be a cook in the coast guard. He would tell me some of the tricks of the trade like baking loaves of bread on the ship in washed cans cans instead of baking pans they were short of. - Stories from the older generation at hunting camp. He liked, (tolerated at first), me as I would help him out with chores in hunting camp. He was in his eighties and had little business clambering down the stony creek bank for buckets of water. I just kept him in water and fire wood. Eventually he’d talk to me lol.

I never heard of it either. Maybe it's a regional thing. Don't know.

It is regional but you’re in the region! Assuming you’re still in Wayne county.

Yup, still here. I'll have to look for it.

I saw that it's at Walmart. As much as I hate Walmart right now I'll pick up a can tomorrow.
I'll report back my findings after I try it.

It’s mildly or moderately sweet. Goes well warm with butter. A plate of beans and good hot dogs with the brown bread is a comfort food of mine that takes me back to the 70’s growing up. Market 32/price Chopper out by Albany has it near the canned beans iirc. I am not sure if Hannaford’s has it. We don’t have Wegmans so I am no help there.

To me...... NOTHING beats a good old BLT! Back in the day I was good for 4-5 of them for lunch with a few good pickles and Mao slathered all over them.

My favorite right now. Smoked Salmon on Rye toast. Under the salmon is a layer of soft cream cheese, thinly sliced green onion tops, and some capers. On top is the thinly chopped tops of the green onions and a bunch of freshly ground white pepper.

Here, here! Though a BLT isn't much of an experimental sandwich
The local Shari's restaurant served a 3-cheese grilled sandwich with bacon. That was pretty tasty.
Until they closed their doors for good.

EDIT: I decided that I'd make myself a Shari's-style 3-grilled-chees & bacon sandwich for lunch today. Monterey jack, provolone, & Swiss cheeses on whole grain bread with 3 strips of crispy bacon. Turned out really good! A complete cholesterol BOMB, but very tasty!

My sister in law makes a smoked salmon & cream cheese spread/dip.
Great on crackers, but seems like it might be just a little rich as a sandwich spread.
